Abstract

A foot harness for resistance exercises. The foot harness may comprise: a top strap, a bottom strap, a heel strap, and one or more attachment points. A first end of the top strap, first end of the bottom strap, and first end of the heel strap may be coupled to one another at a first juncture region. A second end of the top strap, second end of the bottom strap, and second end of the heel strap may be coupled to one another at a second juncture region. The top strap may be adapted to engage with an upper portion of a shoe. The bottom strap may be adapted to engage with a bottom portion of the shoe. The heel strap may be adapted to engage with a rear portion of the shoe. The attachment points may be disposed at the first juncture region and the second juncture region.
